ENGINE OIL

179)

84)

Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the dipstick
A. If the oil level is near or even under
the MIN line, add oil using the filler B to
reach the MAX line.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.

Engine oil consumption

85)

The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having stabilised
after the first 5000 - 6000 km.

If the level is too low, unscrew the cap of
reservoir C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.

Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION /
TWIN CLUTCH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION ACTUATION
SYSTEM OIL

The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at a Jeep Dealership.

BATTERY

185) 186) 187) 188)

The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at a
Jeep Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.

IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The

warning light on the

instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other or
drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.

IMPORTANT If the charge level
remains under 50% for a long time,
the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and efficiency at
start-up.

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE

In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Have the system
inspected at a Jeep Dealership before the
summer.

WARNING

177) Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.

249

178) Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
179) If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium cap (where
provided). WARNING: risk of burns!
180) The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
181) Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
182) Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.

183) Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
184) The symbol

, on the brake fluid

container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
185) Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
186) Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
187) If the vehicle must remain unused
for a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
188) When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.

IMPORTANT

83) Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
84) The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
85) Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already in the
engine.
86) PARAFLU

anti-freeze fluid is used

in the engine cooling system; use the
same fluid type as that already in the
cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU

may not be mixed with other

types of anti-freeze fluids. In the event of
topping up with an unsuitable product,
under no circumstances start the engine
and contact a Jeep Dealership.
87) Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.

MAINTENANCE

88) Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (e.g. anti-theft, radio phone,
etc.), go to a Jeep Dealership, which will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.

IMPORTANT

4) Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters,
it is advisable to contact a Jeep Dealership
5) Used transmission oil contains
substances that may be dangerous for the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Jeep Dealership to have the fluid changed.
6) Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Jeep
Dealership.

BATTERY RECHARGING

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT After placing the ignition
device to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery.
When reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery, make sure that
the ignition device is in the STOP
position and the driver side door is
closed.

IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.

IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If
a "quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,

before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use
a "quick-type" battery charger to
provide the starting voltage.

VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM

To recharge, proceed as follows:

disconnect the terminal from the

negative battery pole;

connect the charger cables to the

battery terminals, observing the polarity;

turn on the charger;

when it is recharged, turn the charger

off before disconnecting it from the
battery;

reconnect the negative battery

terminal.

VERSIONS WITH STOP/START
SYSTEM

To recharge, proceed as follows:

disconnect the connector A

fig. 202 (pressing the button B) from the
sensor C monitoring the battery
conditions, on the negative pole (–) D of
the battery;

connect the positive cable (+) of the

battery charger to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal D as shown;

turn on the battery charger. At the end

of the charging process, switch the

251

battery charger off;

after having disconnected the charger,

reconnect connector A to the sensor C as
in fig. 202.
